Meanwhile, a beetroot salad from Sainsbury's had an illegible use-by date - making it impossible to know if it was safe to eat.

Price is one thing, but value is slightly different. And shoppers clearly believe supermarkets could do more. Indeed, separate Which? research shows trust in supermarkets is dropping as prices rise. Use-by dates are about food safety, and getting them right is crucial. Too long and you risk consumers' safety. Too short and you increase food waste and dent profit margins. So who sets them and how? Supermarkets are treading a fine line between keeping prices low, paying their staff decent wages, maintaining supplier relationships and keeping shareholders happy. But while their margins are relatively small compared to many other businesses, they do make big profits. For supermarket groceries, it is the responsibility of manufacturers to make sure products are suitably labelled. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) says dates must be based on robust evidence.The name previously belonged to a chain of stores run by A&P, based largely in the cities and suburbs of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington DC.

Joint-second placed Waitrose, like M&S, received five stars for the appearance of its stores, its staff and the quality of its products, and a poor two stars for value for money. It was the only supermarket to score five stars for its queuing times. Ocado ( Ocado.com ) tops the table for shopping online. Shoppers love its vast range of groceries, the availability of delivery slots and its customer service. It gets only a mediocre three stars for value – although no online supermarket does better than this.

Despite its popularity with shoppers, we didn't make M&S a WRP this year because of its poor value for money.

We surveyed 3,007 members of the public in October 2022 for our annual supermarkets survey, quizzing them on their experiences with those they use most often.We also asked how satisfied shoppers are on the whole with their supermarket and whether they would recommend it. These two questions allow us to calculate our Which? customer scores. Tesco came top, with items lasting almost 11 days, on average. Waitrose was at the bottom of the table, with items lasting an average of 8.6 days. In 2007, A&P acquired the Pathmark supermarket chain and, in 2008, announced plans to convert eight of the 13 Philadelphia-area SuperFresh stores to its new Pathmark Sav-A-Center banner. The company planned to renovate the remaining SuperFresh stores into its successful "Fresh" format (used in its A&P Fresh Markets). The change would re-position the Superfresh brand as an upscale banner. [4]
